An enjoyable game, and a confidence booster.  Compared to the recent years, the whole team is playing at both ends of the court.

Bonnie played very well, scoring 11 points in 15 minutes.  Interestingly, only 3 of those were on a trey.  She went to the basket a few times and had a nice finger roll, and went 4/4 from the free throw line.  She is now 18/18 on free throws this season.

Bonnie is now 82/89 = 92% for her college career.  Stanford's career record is Kelly Suminski at 84%.  (So Bonnie is having half as many misses as Kelly.)  BUT, Bonnie won't make it onto Stanford's records as she doesn't shoot enough FTs (unless she gets another 118 this year!).  Too bad.... She has the most effortless free throw I can recall. 

And, she's not even in the NCAA rankings this year.  She'd need 20 attempts (2.5/game * 8 games).  If you gave her 2 misses to get to 20, she'd be tied for 5th.  It doesn't help her totals that she is only played less than 1/3 of each game.

This is an argument to play her more and to have her go to the basket more.  With 92% free throw shooting she should be deadly as a mid range jumpshooter, too.

Bob, your reference to Bonnie's defense against Connecticut left me wondering--were you suggesting she played especially well on defense against UConn?  I went back and watched parts of the replay again and I saw Karlie playing exceptional defense on KML with Bonnie mostly playing back on Morgan Tuck.  It was odd--not a zone really but Bonnie often played way back.  I guess they were daring Tuck to shoot a jumper.  Tuck is 6'2" and was just 2/7, but was that Bonnie's doing?  I saw Tuck go around Bonnie for a couple of offensive rebounds. 

By the way, Tempie said that our defense against UConn was a "scheme" which I took to mean it was something specifically drawn up for that team that we probably won't see again.  Any idea what the scheme was?
